You are now entering a world of usurpation, destruction, colonisation and rebellion.
You will study what Simon Schama described as 'a massive fault-line in the continuity of our history' - we count our kings and queens from 1066, our system of currency lasted until 1971, and the shires created in the Anglo-Saxon period still remain in England today. Fortunately, ordeals by bread and mutliation by armed bands have fallen by the wayside. Not to mention rapine, kidnapping, and the other political manoeuveres of the Godwin family...
Why not get one step ahead andhear it from the horse's mouth. You could even do some reading....
